It won't work. I think there is more than a way to do that.
The best thing would be a change in the source: no access to the display, unless we really need to. Another way (in userland) is to use Xvfb server (X on virtual framebuffer, used also to start xdm on a machine that only need to act as an XDMCP server.) Another one: start a real X server on the remote machine (with DISPLAY=:1 or something else). And the last way I can think of: export your local DISPLAY and use xhost to give permissions. Is your local machine a linux/unix box? Then it should be really easy to do like this. -----Messaggio originale----- Da: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Per conto di Marc Reichman Inviato: mercoled� 20 febbraio 2002 14.01 A: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Oggetto: Re: [Xmame] running xmame without Xinstalled try unsetting the DISPLAY variable? -marc On 0, Pete French <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I'm logged into my home machine from work, and want to run > > xmame -verifyromsets > > but it complains it cant connect to the X servsr. too right, theres no > X running on that box, but why is it even trying if I am just doing > command line things ? any solutions ? > > -bat. > > _______________________________________________ > Xmame mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://toybox.twisted.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/xmame -- -marc v1.2a r TW 0/0/ FD 1- 0 Animals 3 0 10.3% <19oct99> _______________________________________________ Xmame mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://toybox.twisted.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/xmame _______________________________________________ Xmame mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://toybox.twisted.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/xmame
